Sweet little Sofia celebrated her six month birthday at the 3rd District Courthouse for the official signing of adoption papers.
All the legal stuff was simply a formality because Sofia was already wholly and completely daughter, granddaughter, niece, beloved baby girl.
I had to delete several photos in this set because strangers kept stopping to admire sweet Sofia.
Adoptions are the happiest events in a courthouse and she was met with smiles all around.
I didn’t dare photoshop her eyes at all. They are simply amazing!
Jessica made Sofia’s beautiful dress.

I wish this were sharper– but it’s too cute to throw away.
Off to see the judge. Matt’s darling parents-thoroughly captivated by little miss beautiful
It was a pleasure to spend time with you Matt, Jessica, Sofia and family. And thanks for sending me home early Jess– my kids DID need me. You are already such a pro at this mothering gig.

Because I grew up with Jessica it is so fulfilling to me to see a dream like this one come true for her. I know how the adoption thing works and I’m so glad it’s offically over and they don’t have to worry about timelines etc. They make a beautiful family!
